ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
JEEP ACCELERATED WITHOUT STEPPING ON GAS. ACCELERATOR CABLE DID NOT SEEM TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY, WHEN APPLYING, FELT SOMEWHAT "ROUGH/NOTHY" OWNER AGREED TO CHANGE AS SUGGESTED. CABLE CHANGED TOTAL $477.39 IN 5/2010.THIS TIME CAR WAS TOWED TO JEEP DEALER. C. STATED JEEP ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, TOWED IN. JAN. 13,11 JEEP TOWED IN TO JEEP DEALER FOR BUCKING AND ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. MAY 13,11 TOWED INTO JEEP DEALER, CHANGED SEVERAL COMPONENTS AND $1,074.68, NEVER HAD A DEFINITE ANSWER, AND AFTER EACH INCIDENT TOOK ITS TOLL ON MY NERVES, SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY JEEP, WHICH I PURCHASED TO MAKE OUR FAMILY SAFE. FAST FORWARD, 11/23/2015 THIS JEEP ONCE AGAIN STARTED ACCELERATING AND RACING IN PARK AND WITH THE HAND BRAKE UP. MY JEEP HAS 64,K AND IS TAKEN CARE OF, LOOKS GREAT. BUT, ONCE AGAIN I CANNOT RISK PUTTING MY FAMILY OR MYSELF IN IT TO DRIVE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS STORIES LIKE THIS AND SOME A LOT WORSE. MY INSTINCTS WERE TO JUST SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND I DID ALL4 TIMES OVER THE YEARS. I AM NOW ON A FIXED INCOME AND WOULD LOVE TO BE HAPPY AND KEEP THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROEE BUT, I CAN NO LONGER TAKE THIS CHANCE. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE OR HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE CHRYSLER WAKES UP AND RECALLS, I'M GUESSING THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO FIX. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS AND HAD REPAIRS SEVERAL TIME, WHEN I GOT A TICKET AFTER IT WAS ALREADY FIXED A FEW TIMES I HAD TO PAY. FAILED NJ INSPECTION 1 TIME DUE TO WHAT THEY CALLED A WIG WAG, WHICH JEEPS ARE KNOW FOR, WHO OUT THERE IS ON THE CONSUMERS SIDE, NO ONE IT APPEARS. NO RECALLS ON THIS THIS BUT, THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME ON A PASSENGER RESTRAINT MODULE, MAYBE NEXT YEAR 2016, IF WE ARE LUCKY. ALL 4 TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE USING THE KEY. MY VEHICLE MUST BE SAFE FOR GRANDCHILD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE HAD PROBLEMS ON AND OFF WITH THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND STEREO SYSTEM. THE POWER WINDOWS/DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. UNLESS I TURN THE INTERIOR DIMMER LIGHT SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION, THE LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN THIS IS DONE, I CANNOT SEE THE DISPLAYS (I.E., SPEED, ETC.). THE STEREO SYSTEM WILL PLAY AND THE CD PLAYER WORKS; HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE THE DISPLAY AT ALL --- CHANNELS, TRACK #S, ETC. ALL OF THESE ISSUES, EXCEPT THE STEREO SYSTEM, CREATE DRIVING HAZARDS.

AIR BAGS
WAS CONTACTED BY JEEP ABOUT RECALL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. HAVE CONTACTED THEM TO SCHEDULE REPAIR AND THEY SAY THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE YET. CONTACTED JEEP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY CANNOT GIVE ANY TIME FRAME FOR MAKING THE PART AVAILABLE. SEEMS TO ME IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE SOME KIND OF TIME FRAME FOR A REPAIR.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA IS REQUIRING FCA TO EXTEND THE $100 GIFT CARD OFFER TO OWNERS OF THESE SUV OR TO INSTALL A REAR TRAILER HITCH TO PREVENT GAS TANK EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A REAR COLLISION. I RECEIVED A CARD FROM JEEP, CALLED THE HOTLINE BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE ARE NO REMEDIES AVAILABLE FOR THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER RECOURSES AVAILABLE TO ME OR IS THE IFORMATION I AM GETTING FROM FCA CORRECT?
